i was helping someone with costume refs earlier and i ended up absolutely stumped over these two portraits, which were apparently painted about 20 years apart
i hate this thing so much i saw hercules in a theater in manchester when i was seven and the hydra scared me shitless https://t.co/aVBMoxSQd0
generic dancers have this goofy feather headdress and ngl i think it would be rly cute if dorothea had something kind of like this. obviously not in the middle of her forehead but some kind of ornament maybe over one ear
also edelgard's new costume seems like a dead ringer for an armored knight rather than the MUCH more fortress knight-y designs she had in three houses
like i get that this design is supposed to look like..peaceful and ageless and all-knowing but i always found it SO potentially menacing
gonna be honest. the moment i saw the arbiter at the beginning of shadowlands i was 100% sure a corrupted/mind controlled version of her would be the expansion's penultimate raid boss
